From Umar Dankano,Yola
The appointment of former pioneer chairman of Economic and Financial Crime Commission,EFCC, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu as National Security Adviser by President Bola Tinubu has been described as a right step in the right direction. A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa state and former Senator, Abubakar Girei gave the assertion saying that the appointment at this critical point in Nigeria’s drive towards socio-economic renaissance is a step in the right direction.
Girei equally hailed president Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his vibrant, purposeful and effective leadership, noting that with the courageous and meticulous leadership of the president, Nigeria will sooner than later get out of its maze of socio-economic malaise.
The president who was sworn in on 29th May 2023, virtually hits the ground running from day one earning him the sobriquet “Baba go fast” a new approbatory catch phrase in Nigerian political sphere.
The president has taken tough measures and policies which his predecessors failed to take including the removal of the egregious and troubling subsidy that has become a conduit through which unscrupulous Nigerians shortchange the nation, and addressing the multiple exchange rates that exposed Nigeria’s economy to series of blatant abuses.
He noted that with such zeal and valiant disposition, Nigeria will get it right under the able stewardship of president Bola Tinubu.
Girei who also hailed the appointments noted that all of the appointees are highly accomplished personalities in their different fields of endeavor adding that through the appointments the president has succeeded in putting square pegs in square holes.
He particularly lauded the president for appointing a consummate technocrat, an accomplished administrator and a thoroughbred politician, Sen George Akume as the secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) noting that with the appointment of such versatile persons, Nigeria is surely on the path of national rebirth.
He urged the new appointees to discharge their given responsibilities with patriotic fervour, diligence and commitment so as to prove to the president and Nigerians that their appointments is not in vein.
